摘要

Cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) is a common age-related cerebral small vessel disease characterized by a progressive deposition of amyloid-beta in the wall of cortical and leptomeningeal small arteries, with or without capillary involvement. It is a frequent cause of spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage and cognitive impairment in the elderly. Another characteristic clinical presentation associated with CAA is transient focal neurological episode (TFNE). As recently reported, TFNE could be divided into a positive-symptoms form (aura-like) and a negative-symptoms form (transient ischemic attack-like). We present a case of probable cerebral amyloid angiopathy presenting with transient ischemic attack-like episodes. A 69-year-old Caucasian man was admitted to the emergency department because of acute onset right arm weakness and speech impairment, lasting 30 minutes. A computed tomogram (CT) brain scan showed leukoaraiosis and mild cortical atrophy. The patient complained of a similar episode one day before. He was a smoker and moderate alcohol drinker; he had referred with higher blood pressure and mild carotid atherosclerosis for two years. He was taking ramipril, aspirin 100 mg and low-dose statin. ABCD2 score was moderate.
